tweeter does the rebate and we also offer the d3x package and z2x package

Big picture:

Pioneer claims the D3 is the biggest-selling navigation system (at least form online data referred to on the rebate page).

If that's true, why are they offering a rebate???

My theory: There are so many bugs and problems with the D3, they're getting rid of them to make room for newer models.

Given the total lack of SORELY-NEEDED software updates and WAY OVERDUE map updates for the AVIC-D3, it's starting to look like Pioneer intends to discontinue the D3 -- I don't think we'll ever see a S/W update to fix all the problems, and predict that Pioneer will stop supporting it.

the pioneer d3 supports almost all the products that were out when it was released. only problems that started occuring was when new products came out. oem cars are basically the same problems especially with bluetooth.

I disagree completely. You're simply factually incorrect.

Tons of phones that were out for three years or more when the AVIC-D3 came out do not work properly with the CDBTB200 because Pioneer did not adhere to the HFP and voice dialing elements in the Bluetooth standard.

Just one example:

There are dozens of folks on this site who are complaining that the D3 doesn't play the voice dialing prompts from their phone, whereas all other major players in the industry don't have this problem. Even a $300 Tom Tom portable unit with Bluetooth handles the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP) standard properly and makes the voice dialing prompts audible. My RAZR phone was out for at least three years before the AVIC, and is one of many that the D3 doesn't properly support.

in case anyone missed it, pioneer extended the rebate to the end of april

I am thinking about purchasing from the site 6ave.com. How much did you pay for it? On the site currently, it is listed as $589 with "rebate already applied". They are an authorized dealer according to the Pioneer website and I am wondering if they would still honor the rebate if ordering from them?

When submitting the rebate forms (for a D3x purchase), do we need the UPC of the outer D3x box only or do we have to include the ones inside (the D3, bluetooth, Ipod cable, etc.)??

no, just the two off of the actual d3 box
